A host of excellent glitch-hop recordings has appeared this week: all the way from the Pacific Coast to rural Lithuania. Many of them share an enthusiasm for metaphors of flight, fantasy, and family.
Yesterday saw the release of our double album, "Antique/Astral," dedicated to the work of thirty young beatmakers. Here we offer a little context to their careers and current efforts.
An overview of recent work from beatmakers in Russia and Kazakhstan reveals a certain unity. These leisurely recordings reflect a happiness in collaboration, yet are tinged with sadness at civic failings
Moa Pillar, Dafu, and I-Tone all work in Moscow, yet have connections to Siberia... and even Russia's Pacific Coast. Those distant locations have a direct impact on how these men view the present day
I-Tone is a hip-hop DJ located on the edge of Russia's arctic territories - 4,000 miles from Moscow. Nonetheless, his address has much appeal for young romantics, dreaming of some better life or location
